Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking information from vendors for the replacement and installation of Transition Power Source (TPS) units at approximately 158 NEXRAD sites across the country. The TPS is a critical component of the NEXRAD weather radar system, providing clean power and protecting the system from power surges and brownouts. The replacement TPS must meet specific requirements, including a modular design, online double conversion, and a minimum of 50KVA power supply. Vendors are invited to submit their company profile, including their experience and capabilities, as well as any relevant information that may be beneficial to the government in finalizing its market research and acquisition strategy. The installation of the new TPS units will require the removal and disposal of the old units, as well as the connection of new power cables and communication cables.
• The replacement TPS must be capable of receiving three-phase, 208VAC power at 60 Hz without damage to the source.
• The replacement TPS must supply three-phase, 208VAC power at 60 Hz to the radar.
• The replacement TPS must have a modular line replaceable unit (LRU) concept that can be field replaceable.
• The replacement TPS must have the capability to isolate failures to the LRU.
• The replacement TPS must have a modular LRU that can be individually procured.
